Description

Technical progressive metal band Oni recently released their heavy-hitting single "Barn Burner", and today you can watch xylosynth player Johnny D shred through the track on his unique instrument.

With their influences rooted in progressive metal, Oni's sound can be compared to the genre's heavy hitters - The Human Abstract, Protest The Hero and Between The Buried And Me - yet they remain truly unique. With Jake Oni handling vocal duties, Martin Andres and Brandon White on guitar, Chase Bryant on bass and Joe Greulich on drums, they are also perhaps the first metal band to feature a xylosynth player, Johnny D, which adds an intriguing dynamic to the nine tracks found on Ironshore. Produced by Josh Wilbur (Lamb Of God, Gojira), Ironshore takes listeners on an absorbing ride that provides ample opportunity for head-banging, singing along and deep introspection. On the album track "The Only Cure", Lamb Of God vocalist Randy Blythe also contributes his inimitable style - resulting in one of the record's heaviest moments.
